Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 cups Ice-cold sparkling water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Vegetable oil for frying
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by preparing the prawns. Ensure they are peeled, deveined, and dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually whisk in the ice-cold sparkling water until the mixture is just combined with a few lumps remaining. Do not overmix as the batter should be light and airy.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or a large skillet to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to accurately measure the temperature.
Dip each prawn into the batter, ensuring a light but thorough coating.
Carefully place the battered prawns into the hot oil. Fry them in batches to prevent overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature.
Fry the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a light golden brown color.
Remove the fried prawns using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free soy sauce with grated ginger to create a dipping sauce.
Serve the tempura prawns immediately with dipping sauce on the side, garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing.
